Capt. j. Brahan Patton, son of
Gov. Patton, now owns Patton's
Island, opposite foot of Court street
in Florence, where the engineers
placed the pontoons for Gen. Hoods
army to cross Tennessee river in
1864.
Among the celebrities at the land
sales in Florence was Jim Angel, of
Oakland. He was Bugler of Col.
JEFF Forests Cavalry-and Jim is
still blowing.
The steamer John Gilbert brought
about one hundred people to the land
sales, from st. Louis and other points.
The distances from Clarksville to
Florence are: to Guthrie, KY, 10
miles; to Nashville As; to Pulaski so;
to Decatur 40; to Tuscumbia 40; to
Florence 5, making the total 222.
The railroad which we need built
through Dickson would reach
Florence in nearly half that distance.
Royal Avenue is 100 feet wide and
six miles long, extending from
Sweetwater creek above Florence in
semi-circle to Cypress creek below
the city at the exact point where
Gen. Jackson crossed the river with
his army when returning from his
victory over Packenham at New
Orleans.
Jas. w. Morgan, editor OF the
Florence Gazette, is representa-
tive of the Old South form Lynch
burg, Va. "He was looking WE'LL"
The view from the Monument
Hill across Tennessee river is mag
nificent-the railroad bridge span
ming the broad stream-the wooded
hills--the Sheffield reservoir in the
distance and beyond all the vast
stretch of Tennessee Valley richer
than the far-famed Valley of the
Nile.
All of the GAINESVILLE party enjoyed
the hospitality of Judge w. B. Wood
and his accomplished wife in their
elegant home surrounded as it is
with shade trees and rare flowers.
A selection of those flowers, a pure
lily and cluster of carnations, max
ing up the cherished combination of
"Red White and Red" were pre-
scented to the CHRONICLE scribe who
begs leave to again express his thanks
and most grateful appreciation.
The Louisville & Nashville rail-
road Company has just awarded to
Messrs. ID. Shanohan & Co., the con-
tract to finish the Nashville &
Florence railroad and also the West
Point Branch road which reaches the
immense iron ore beds of Lawrence
county, Tennessee. Both roads are
to be completed by the list of jan
uary 1888.
The connection which will benefit
GAINESVILLE and all this section OF
farming country ought to be made
by road leading off from the Mem
phis line of the l.. & N. road at, OF
near, Steels Station, eight miles
southwest of GAINESVILLE, and running
TO Dickson-thence by Buffalo and
on to Florence-almost an airline.

Criminal Court.

Our paper last week went to press
before the adjournment of the court
and the following items We're not
then reported:
In the case Of the State VS.. Dave
Tilley, defendant was found guilty
and given one year in the penitentia-
ry. His attorneys moved for a new
hearing, but upon argument the mo-
ton was over-ruled and an appeal
was taken to the Supreme court.
The libel suit which was tried be-
fore the Judge on Saturday last,
wherein Rev. A. j. Stokes, pastor of
the First Colored Baptist church in
this city was the prosecutor, and j.
w. Payton, II. Metcalf, Howard,
Dennis and Jones were defendants,
elected considerable interest on the
part of the colored people.
The facts and circumstances which
brought about the prosecution, as
shown by proof during the trial as
gathered by our reporter were as fol-
lows:
Some time in the year 1884 or 1885,
there was q dissension in the congre-
cation of the First Baptist church,
Jones being pastor Of the church at
that time and the congregation being
unable to amicably adjust the matter
in dispute, divided, Jones leaving
the church, followed by portion Of
the members.
After short time Jones and his
faction procured another house in
which they worshiped, altogether the
church was minus pastor, the mem
bers who remained declined to recog.
nize Jones or affiliate with him in
any way, and called the Rev
A. j. Stokes of South Carolina, tt
pastoral of the First Baptist church
Ever since the first discussion there
has been a spirit of jealousy existing
between the two factions.
In August 'S6, the defendants me
in convention with the colored Bap
fist Association in New Providence
and sometime during the sitting 0
the body, passed resolutions with in
difference to Stokes, withdrawn.
from him as a minister, and charging
that he was an eX-convict, also tina
he was the husband of two Twin!
wives. The resolutions and charge
were entered upon the minutes Q
the convention and published, upol
this an Indictment was found for ma
licious libel against the defendant
who were the officers of the Conven
| tons. Upon the trial the falsity {
the charges were proven beyond
doubt, but the court held that malic
: was not sufficiently established t
justify a conviction although the ir
formation upon which the charge
, were BASED was received mostl
from anonymous sources.

HazsIton Happenings.


This vicinity is still suffering, at this
writing for rain. The farmers, will
be compelled to commence feeding their
cattle soon if it does not rain and start
the grass to growing. Prairie fires are
getting to be very common; one last
Friday, burnded Zeb. Wardsworth's
pasture; one on Wednesday, burned
s. S. RObinson's pasture, and came
near getting to the Hazelton mill.
The union labor party held meeting
at the Fain school house Tuesday even,
ing. There were present three demo-
Gratis, one republican and three doubt
full, including the speaker. Wednesday
night they spoke at the King school
house; present one democrat. one re-
publican, three little boys and two
doubtful, counting the speaker. Thurs
day night they spoke at Hazelton;
present, five democrats, one republican.
one boy and four doubtful, this in
cludes two speakers. Friday evening
they met to elect four delegates and
four alteTnates. to attend their dele
gate convention Aug. 20. Members
present, Tom Cook and o. +. Mason
business transacted as follows: No
chairman-no secretary-no delegates
no alternates- no adjournment--no
meeting called for the future, and no
hopes for their ticket in Ha1elton town
ship. The *. of L. at Hazeltoh will
doubtless teach the third party that
when they Joined the assembly they did
so with the distinct understanding that
it was not political organization and
that they will not be the tail of any po-
litical kite, but will continue to be free
American citizens, exercising their
rights as such, without fear or favor.
The day has passed in this county
when few would be statesmen and
leaders can carry the votes of the peo-
pie in their vest pockets, to use for
their own advancement. We are now
a free people, in the full acceptation Of
the term. i. AT the democratic prima-
ry held here Saturday, ID. r. Smith, F.
F. Severance and John WEIGH were
elected delegates and Thomas Collins,
j. II. McCracken and w. T. Gambel,
were elected alternates. They were
instructed to vote for James Bryson
for treasurer and w. G. Afford for
sheriff. There was the largest attend
ance of any democratic primary ever
held in Hazelton. After the business
was all completed, the chairman asked
for an expression on the question 7ef
placing straight ticket in the field for
township officers. Those present were
found to be about equally divided on
the question and SO it stands at
present. CITIZEN.

where they are to vote.
